Benq MP511+ Projector/ Sanwa Jamma->NTSC convertor.

Post by Battlesmurf »

Basically- I bought a Jamma->NTSC convertor (S-Video/Composite out) and a Benq MP511+ projector. Most hori pcbs run fine- but any pre-DOJ stuff, Raiden Fighters and the like don't run in color (or get forced into PAL mode/black white/wavy- i.e. Raiden Fighters). The projector was supposed to support the full range of hori/vert frequencies- but doesn't. Is there any device I can use? I have composite and S-video output on the Sanwa unit, and S-Video, Composite, and VGA in on the projector. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Worst case I'll have to return the projector to TigerDirect and pick another- but they all have listed 'frequencies' they are compatable with- though I beleive this one may only support 'some' of that range of frequencies via VGA input.

I've replied to your PM. If you can return it, do it and get a beamer which will accept 15khz RGB via Adapter on the VGA port. Either this or you're in the game to shell out $200 for a upscaling device.

That $200 that Fudoh is talking about is none other than an XRGB-2 upscan convertor -- the best that $$$ can buy. It would make sense to return it back to TigerDirect and get another LCD projector that can accept 15kHz sync rate without the need to resort to such an upscaling device. Saves on further signal degradation loss if going an extra step with such an device IMO. ^_~
